$A$ massless spring of force constant $K$ is placed between two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ on a frictionless table and compressed by an amount $x$. Upon releasing the spring,both blocks move in opposite directions. The blocks lose contact with the spring when it reaches its natural length. The speed of the block of mass $M$ at the moment of separation is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{Km}{M(M+m)}} \cdot x$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{Km}{m(M+m)}} \cdot x$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{KM}{m(M+m)}} \cdot x$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{(M+m)K}{m}} \cdot x$

$A$ spring has a natural length $l$ with one end fixed to the ceiling. The other end is fitted with a smooth ring which can slide on a horizontal rod fixed at distance $l$ below the ceiling. Initially,the spring makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical,when the system is released from rest. Find the angle of the spring with the vertical,when the velocity of the ring reaches half of the maximum velocity,which the ring can attain during the motion.

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest,as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
To an observer $A$,the work done by the spring force is
